We have been in a surreal state of late as Mets fans, seemingly looking at all of our dreams coming true; not necessarily for a World Series every year, but some semblance of competent day-to-day baseball operations and fan interaction. Steve Cohen has talked about bringing the history of the team as us fans have lived and enjoyed it back to the foreground, so in that context, we welcome author an...

LIVE at 8pm ET, A Metsian Podcast is back with our regularly scheduled program, this the 67th official edition.

LIVE at 8pm ET, we'll assemble our Metsian brains together to both analyze and celebrate Steve Cohen's first press conference as owner of the New York Mets. Along with Sandy Alderson, the newly annointed President, they both took questions as to how they will go about their first offseason at the helm. John Pielli of The Passed Ball Show and Jeff Cohen of Baseball and BBQ will join us to...

We're a mere formality away from Steve Cohen assuming full control of the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club.  Celebrations have erupted throughout social media, with anticipation of the deal being completed in ten more days.  Until then, we dust off the Hot Stove in preparation, for what should be, a very interesting off-season.  Break out your party hats and noise-makers and please join Gr...

That's a wrap on one of the most uncommon regular seasons in baseball history.  Congratulations to all on a job well done.  Let the post-season begin!  The Mets, however, will be watching from afar.  Their season ends on a bittersweet note.  An era of Mets baseball comes to a rather common end: at the bottom of the standings with a sub .500 record.  However, fans are banking on better days ah...

Seven games remain in the Mets regular season, three against Tampa and four versus Washington.  With any luck the Mets will qualify for the playoffs with at least a .500 record.  But how confident are you in their ability to negotiate four rounds of playoffs?  Can this pitching staff pull them through?  Will they even make the playoffs?  John Pielli, host of The Passed Ball Show, joins a Metsian P...

Wishin'...and hopin'....and thinkin'...and prayin'...These classic lyrics sung by Dionne Warwick come to mind as every Mets fan read the official statement released that Steve Cohen and Sterling Partners have agreed to a deal to sell him the Mets. Now, it is only a matter of the other MLB owners voting yes and the Mets are finally out of the Wilpons' hands. While analyzing...

A Metsian Podcast commiserates the life and career of George Thomas Seaver, also known as The Franchise, who passed away one week ago today.  Sam, Rich and Mike, reconvene this holiday afternoon in what is sure to be an emotionally solemn fan mourning of Tom Terrific.  Faith and Fear in Flushing's Greg Prince joins the podcast as witness and testament to Seaver's brilliance on the mound....

New York, New York, it's a hell of a baseball town where local Mets and Yankees fans ride in a hole in the ground (hopefully wearing masks while practicing social distancing).  The subway system has run parallel with New York City's baseball history for well over a century.  In fact, five score and sixteen years ago local fans via the city's new subway system begin commuting to the...

COVID-19 continues altering an already compromised 2020 regular season, and the problematic Miami Marlins condition remains front and center.  Most recently one player and one organizational member fo the New York Mets tested positive for coronavirus during the team's most recent visit to Florida.  To be fair, where and when they contracted the virus is yet to be determined.  Nonetheless, a c...

LIVE at 8pm ET, John Coppinger of Metstradamus joins us as we once more rant and rave with the Mets coming off a series sweep by the hands of the Phillies. What went wrong? Why does the pattern of letting games slip away continue to ravage this team? Arod is apparently the front-runner now in purchasing the Met...how should we react to this news? When will all this nonsense stop? We've got mu...

The New York Mets 2020 regular season is one-quarter of the way through.  There is good news making some fans think they're taking a turn for the better, but there's also bad news making other fans think they're taking a turn for the worse.  So, which is it?  Join Sam, Rich, and Mike, in their attempt to gain a fix on the team's direction.  Pitching; fielding; and timely hittin...

On Saturday, August 1, Greg Prince of Faith and Fear in Flushing joined our Sam Maxwell on the Bedford & Sullivan podcast to discuss the Mets and the NL legacy of the Dodgers and Giants in the shadows of Friday night's blown game to the Atlanta Braves.

East Side; West Side; everybody is up in arms over the M-E-S-S, mess, mess, mess, transpiring in New York town.  Pitching issues; fielding issues; hitting issues; even personnel issues; you name it; ten games into a sixty game schedule and the Mets have more problems than a math book.  Please join Sam, Rich, and Mike, as they host a Metsian Podcast intervention aimed at talking fans Orange and Blu...

The baseball season is almost here! Finally, after COVID-19 has deemed most of us frozen in our regular day-to-day lives, baseball, sans fans in the stands, tries to bring some sort of regularity back to summer. To help us look at how our favorite team, the New York Mets, stack up going into this 60-game sprint of a baseball season we hope we will finish, Mets reporter Tim Healey of Newsday joins...

Sometimes even the best laid plans go awry.  One week into Summer Camp baseball is finding this out the hard way as coronavirus still rules the day.  Confirmed cases in numerous states continue spiking; a number of players and essential personal have tested positive; while other players are opting out of this season all together.  Meanwhile back in Metsville, Yoenis Cespedes is all the rage, but R...

Happy Independence Day! LIVE at 8pm ET, A Metsian Podcast comes at you with the hopes and dreams that as the summer and July take off, we may actually have baseball at the tailend of this month, even if it was extremely strange not having actual baseball on the Fourth of July. Both yesterday and today, however, different squads started simulated baseball, including the likes of Jacob deGrom and Yo...

 This game is your game, this game is my game, from California, to the New York Island, from our Canadian neighbors, to the Gulf Stream waters, this game is back for all to see!  Okay, please forgive our giddiness, it's just that A Metsian Podcast is thrilled about finally airing a show bereft of labour strife, contentious negotiations, and bargaining for dollars and nonsense.  This evening S...

Baseball is (kinda) back! We at A Metsian Podcast are thrilled to chat about something other than COVID-19 getting in the way of baseball, and while we're not out of the woods yet, we may have something to enjoy soon enough. We'll talk about the return, the DH and the impact of that on the Mets, the extra inning rule, the 8/31 trade deadline, the playoffs and plenty else regarding the de...
